THE bitter feud over the Quadracci family fortune has taken a bizarre new turn with billion-heir Richard Quadracci lodging crazy and unsubstantiated claims against his estranged mom.

Richard, 43 – the son of late printing company mogul Harry V. Quadracci – is claiming his mother, Betty, hired a private Dominican Republic doctor to drug, kidnap and commit him to a mental institution there to prevent him from inheriting his share of the family fortune.

Quadracci moved to the Caribbean paradise four years ago, after he was sued by his Gramercy Park neighbors who claimed he was running a secret S&M sex club for gay men in his condo. In 2004, the flamboyant heir was involuntarily committed by his mother and two sisters and then sued for defamation by the family’s billion-dollar printing company. He also feuded with his mother over the 2002 accidental drowning death of his father, who was a regular on the Forbes 400 list.

Quadracci – who’s currently on probation for driving his car through a gate and injuring two security guards – claims four men, including a doctor in Santo Domingo, broke into his villa at Casa de Campo in the La Romana area and took him from his home three months ago.

“They actually injected me with a drug that knocked me out for three days,” he says in a complaint to police. “I remember being forced into the back seat of [the doctor’s] car. I remember arriving at the clinic and being stripped and weighed. My memory is black for the next 24 hours.”

Quadracci claims he was kept against his will at a hospital for five weeks. La Romana police chief Edgar Rosario confirms Quadracci did file a criminal complaint, and says police are looking to question the doctor, who failed to show for an appointment with them last Friday. “He has until Wednesday [tomorrow], we have not issued an arrest warrant,” Rosario said.

Rosario said Quadracci is on probation after he was arrested two weeks ago for crashing through the security gates at his compound to get to a “big gay orgy.”
